This fascinating anthropological study by Jerry R Williams offers a comprehensive look at the history and cultural impact of Portuguese immigration from the Azores to the United States. Published in 1982, it sheds light on a significant yet often overlooked chapter of American immigration. The Azores, a remote archipelago in the Atlantic, has long been a source of emigrants due to economic hardship and overpopulation. Williams delves into the challenges faced by these immigrants, their motivations for leaving, and their remarkable resilience in adapting to a new homeland. Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, the book paints a vivid portrait of the Azorean-American experience, exploring their tight-knit communities, cultural traditions, and the profound influence they have had on various aspects of American society. For collectors and readers interested in immigration studies, Portuguese-American history, or the rich tapestry of cultural diversity in the United States, this well-preserved volume is a valuable addition to any library.
